She suggested that she didn't believe all of the Bible literally. My brother, who goes to her church feels the same way. They cannot answer the question, where is the line between believable and not believable--or suggest it is up to me to decide--which I suppose, as an atheist, I have.

Until they are compelled internally to re-evaluate, your are going to run into a Zeno's paradox of sorts.
